A planetary gearset provided with a sun gear, a ring gear, and a carrier that rotatably retains a plurality of pinion gears arranged between the sun gear and the ring gear as elements, in which one of the elements is made a fixed element and one of the other elements is made a rotating element, and which transmits torque between that rotating element and an external member provided in a location eccentric with respect to that rotating member. The planetary gearset is constructed such that the fixed element is movably retained in the direction of a load from the transmission of torque between the rotating element and the external member, and the load from the transmission of torque between the rotating element and the external member is received by a fixed portion that rotatably retains that rotating element.

An apparatus for making a three-dimensional object includes a table, a powdery layer-former that forms a powdery layer on the table, and an optical beam-irradiator that irradiates an optical beam on a predetermined region of the powdery layer to sinter the predetermined region of the powdery layer. A chamber for accommodating the table and the powdery layer-former and a lid for opening and closing an opening defined in the chamber at a location immediately above an optical beam-irradiating range are provided. The three-dimensional object is taken out from the chamber through the opening upon completion of the sintering, and the optical beam-irradiator is disposed at a position deviated from immediately above the optical beam-irradiating range to obliquely irradiate the optical beam on the powdery layer.

A demodulator includes a splitter, a first dielectric substance, and a combiner. The splitter splits a differential phase shift keying optical signal into a first light beam and a second light beam and outputs the first light beam to a first optical path and the second light beam to a second optical path. The first dielectric substance is disposed in the first optical path and has a refractive index higher than the average refractive index of the second optical path. The combiner combines the first light beam and the second light beam and causes the beams to interfere with each other. The difference in length between the first and second optical paths and the refractive index of the first dielectric substance are set such that the first light beam is delayed by one bit with respect to the second light beam.

An image forming device includes, a main casing, a drawer unit, and a transfer unit. The main casing has a first frame formed with a first opening and a second frame formed with a second opening. The main casing has a first inner space in communication with the first opening and the second opening. The drawer unit is movable between a first position and a second position. The drawer unit is accommodated in the first inner space when the drawer unit is in the first position. The drawer unit is partially drawn out from the first inner space through the first opening when the drawer unit is in the second position. When the drawer unit is moved to the second position, a mounting space is formed for allowing the first transfer unit to be mounted in the second inner space.

A semiconductor device includes a silicon substrate, an SiO film, and a High-K film. The SiO film is first formed on the silicon substrate and then subjected to a nitridation process to obtain an SiON film from the SiO film. The nitridation process is performed such that nitrogen concentration in the SiO film decreases from an interface with the silicon substrate below and an interface with the High-K film above, and nitrogen having predetermined concentration or more is introduced in a thickness within a range of 0.2 nm to 1 nm from the interface with the silicon substrate. The SiON film is etched up to a depth to which nitrogen of the predetermined concentration or more is introduced. The High-K film is then formed on the SiON film.
